- No data is collected
Not your name, not your email, not a single usage statistic.
- No accounts
Nothing to sign up for, nothing to sign in to.
- No analytics, crash reports or ads
No third-party code that could send anything anywhere.
- No network requests
Vitaminki works fully offline. It never needed a connection.
What the app stores
Your packs, pills and times, and your answer to each dose. It all stays on your iPhone, shared only with the app’s own widget. Nobody else can read it, including me.
Notifications
Scheduled by iOS right on the device, with no push server. A notification shows the time and a picture of your pills, never medication names: the app doesn’t ask for any.
Device backups
An iCloud or computer backup of your iPhone may include the app’s data, like any other app’s. Apple handles those backups and I have no access to them.
Children
The app collects nothing from anyone, at any age. No sign-up, no chat, no ads.
Deleting your data
Delete the app and its data goes with it. There is no other copy, so a deleted history can’t be recovered.
Changes to this policy
If the app ever touches data, say with optional sync between your devices, this page will say so before that version ships.
This website
The app collects nothing, but this site counts its visitors with Yandex Metrica. It sets cookies and records which pages you open, where you came from, your device, browser and approximate location by IP, and how you scroll and click, including session replay (Webvisor). Yandex processes this under its privacy policy; I see only the reports. To opt out, block cookies for this site or install the Yandex Metrica opt-out add-on.
Here is the short version in words, once.
-
Build a pack
Tap +, pick a shape, a colour and a pill, then set the times on the day strip. Tap Yes.
-
Allow notifications
Say yes when iOS asks. Reminders come at the times you chose.
-
Answer the cat
Hold Yes if you took it, No if you didn’t. Not now? Tap the clock and the cat asks again in ten minutes.
-
Look back
Swipe right through past days. Tap any pill to change your answer.
Something not working? It’s probably one of these.
The reminders are not arriving
Check Settings → Notifications → Vitaminki, and make sure a Focus mode isn’t silencing them. Without an answer, a reminder comes back every hour.
I took a pill late
Open the app and tap that pill. The cat asks about it right away, whatever the time.
Can I answer without opening the app?
Yes: with the buttons on the notification or on the home screen widget.
How do I change or remove a pack?
Press and hold the pack on the home screen. Change what you need and hold Yes to save. Removing a pack is on the same screen.
What happens to the past if I edit a pack?
Nothing. Edits apply from today on; past days keep what they had.
The widget looks out of date
iOS decides when widgets refresh. Opening the app nudges it right away.
Is there a dark mode?
Yes, it follows your iPhone. In dark mode the cat sits under a starry sky.
I can’t feel the purring
Check Settings → Accessibility → Touch → Vibration. When it’s off, iPhone plays no haptics for any app.
Does my history move between devices?
Not yet. Optional sync is the most likely next feature.
I travelled to another time zone
Nothing shifts. Days are stored as calendar days, not clock times.
How do I erase everything?
Delete the app. Everything goes with it, permanently.
Is there an iPad or Mac version?
iPhone only for now.
Write to me. One person reads this, so expect an answer in a couple of days.
